".. The four are allegedly heard discussing a military intervention in neighboring Syria, a sensitive political issue in Turkey, although the context of the conversation is not clear..."

The Washington Post filed that AP report underTechnology. This is an incredible disservice to its readers.The Guardian report based on Reuters is notany better:

There is no mentioning at all of the false flag attack. The Wall Street Journal comes somewhat nearer to the truth:

"... a leaked recording published anonymously on the platform purported to reveal a conversation in which Turkey's foreign minister, spy chief and a top general appear to discuss how to create a pretext for a possible Turkish attack within Syria..."

For once kudos to the NYT which at least touches one point but leaves out the other important ones:

"... the officials were heard discussing a plot to establish a justification for military strikes in Syria. One option that is said to have been discussed was orchestrating an attack on the Tomb of Suleyman Shah ..."
